The eldest of the two brothers, Marcus, is 22, and lives in Winnersh, while younger brother Josh, 20, lives in Coley. The brothers sell speciality grade coffee which they roast in small quantities to ‘provide the ultimate blend’.

Josh said: “We both love coffee and wanted to do something with speciality coffee in Reading.”

They have worked tirelessly, seven days a week since opening to sell their delicious coffees to the people of Reading from their cart.

Tamp Culture employed its first member of staff this month who starts part-time this week, and the brothers hope to open their own shop.

Josh said: “We will definitely keep the cart because it is in such a cool location but we hope to open a shop in or around Reading next year.”

Josh admits the cart was more a decision of affordability than anything else after spending most their money on roasting equipment but says it has worked in their favour.

“The cart was the cheapest and most accessible option but people seem to love it, especially mums who don’t have to wrestle with doors and can just make a quick pit stop,” he explained.

Tamp Culture was nominated for the Business in Action award by Lynda Bowyer, from Central Reading, who labelled it an “invaluable addition” to the town.

She said: “Since opening their coffee cart Josh and Marcus have brought not only some lovely boutique blends of coffee to Reading, but a sense of community.

“Their unique place in the market means that they are about creating a culture of community, chat and coffee – anyone who stops by their coffee cart is warmly welcomed and each customer is valued.

“There’s a real buzz of chatter and community spirit around the coffee cart, and the great flavours of their coffee means there’s a nice vibe in the micro-community who frequent the cart.

“Their focus is on bringing the finest quality coffees to the marketplace and making the customer experience a very varied and enjoyable one, with no two visits the same.”

Josh described being nominated for the Business in Action – under 50 staff award as “epic”.

He said: “It is awesome, I didn’t expect it. We have a really strong group of people who come every single morning for their coffee. It is fantastic that someone thought to nominate us.”
